Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 The Risk of LoveBy Kris Hydmore There is a risk involved in everythingEvery time you share a smileEvery time you shed a tearYou are opening yourself up to hurt.Some people tread slowly through life,Avoiding the closeness risk brings,Side-stepping the things they can't understandTurning away from those who care too much,Those who care stay too long,Those who hold too tightly.There is never an easy way to love You can not approach it cautiouslyIt will not wait for you to arm yourself.It does not care if you turn awayIt is everywhere, it is everything.Love is the greatest of all risks.It is not reliable, it is not cautious,It is not sympatheticIt is unprejudiced and unmerciliess.It strikes the strongest of mind,And brings them to their knees in one blow.Even in the best of times, love hurts.It hurts to need, it hurts to belong,It hurts to be the other part of someone else,Without either of your consent.But, from the moment it overtakes you,It hurts worse to be all alone. The risk of love never depletes;It grows stronger and more dangerous with time.But, it's in the total surrender of all defense,That we, no matter weak or strong,No matter willing or captive,No matter what, we truly experience love.Despite the many things love is not, Outweighing it all are the things that love is.Love is surrender without a loss.It is a gift without the cost.It consumes your every thought & desire,Every breath you take.It is the fire that fuels you To do more than pass through life;It urges you, instead, to live. No matter the outcome, having felt love, You will never be the same.It may scar your heart & soulAnd Leave you only memories of forever.Or, it may cause every day of your life To feel like there is no need for tomorrow.But, love is worth it. It is worth the risk... For in all of life, Love is truly the only risk worth taking. Aseem Kaistha It's your attitude and not your aptitude that determines your altitude.
